I’ve been using Spam Gourmet for this purpose for around 20 years.

This is why I've said tools like not linking to them specifically, there are a lot of mail forwarders. At the same time this is something I've set up for my family

It’s also a service provided by Apple and Google:

Apple has an iCloud subscription remailer service and Google lets you append +<anything > to an address.

So with gmail if your email address is bobross67@gmail.com, you can enter bobross67+cookiethief.com@gmail.com when registering on cookiethief.com and it will still go to your inbox.

Gmail also lets you use periods anywhere so bob.ross.67@gmail.com also works.

The issue with plus addresses on Gmail though is that you still leak your real email. Somebody can just cut this off. Periods too, a lot of things just ignore it. It's not a solution to the problem, at all
